I think the most important thing is that the children are living a stable life and not being shot from one parent to the other. I raised my children single handed and my husband took his children every two weeks for a weekend and when he wanted to take them out other nights that was okay with me. Children need a stable base to grow, unfortunately I do not advocate single parenting because I believe that children need both their father and their mother. Unfortunately when two people cannot live together their differences can cause rifts and maybe because one or both cannot or will not work things out especially when there are children involved it can make the situation difficult and the last things that children need is to be living in two different dwellings. I personally don’t believe children adjust because I see what the scars that marriage breakdown and single parenting have done to my children. But when you don’t have any choice and you are forced to walk a road that you didn’t bargain on walking then it is better for the children to be with the more stable parent so they can be brought up in the best and most stable living arena that they can. The children’s lives and security if of the utmost importance not that of the parents. The children come first in my book and that was my attitude in raising my children as a single parent.
I think every situation differs from couple to couple (or non couple in this case), ultimately if the children are happy and comfortable is the main thing.
I hope Mrs Rocknroll has better luck with her new hubby, I would imagine he’s guessed by now if things don’t work out he won’t be getting shared custody.
